In a medium saucepan, mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk in the water.
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and continue to simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the syrup to cool and pour into a glass jar or bottle.
Notes
For best flavor, use the chocolate sauce once it has completely cooled down.
The sauce will thicken a bit after refrigeration. This makes it into a perfect ice cream topping!
If you like your syrup extra sweet, add 1 tablespoon of sugar in at a time until desired sweetness.
